As a parting shot, fired reporter Ann Mitchell prints a fake letter from unemployed "John Doe," who threatens suicide in protest of social ills. The paper is forced to rehire Ann and hires John Willoughby to impersonate "Doe." Ann and her bosses cynically milk the story for all it's worth, until the made-up "John Doe" philosophy starts a whole political movement. At last everyone, even Ann, takes her creation seriously...but publisher D.B. Norton has a secret plan. Written by Rod

BEIJING — Asia-Pacific leaders meeting in Russia this week are expected to discuss how best to reconcile border disputes in the South China Sea. Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines and China all have competing territorial claims.

Chinese patrols in contested waters, and a new Chinese garrison on a disputed island put rival claims to the South China Sea front and center at this week's forum of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation.

"There is a small risk, and I think it is a growing risk, that an incident at sea could escalate into conflict involving China and one of its neighbors, and I think that is what we are all worried about," said Rory Medcalf, who directs the International Security Program at Australia's Lowy Institute.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says Southeast Asian nations should draft a unified code of conduct with China to resolve competing claims to the sea.

"We believe the nations of the region should work collaboratively together to resolve disputes without coercion, without intimidation, without threats and certainly without the use of force," said Clinton.

Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa is taking the lead.

"I had a very good, frank and candid discussion with my foreign minister of China colleague here in this very same building to call him to revert back to the diplomatic process," said Natalegawa. "I think the track is quite clear what is ahead of us, namely, we must apply ourselves to have the code of conduct done."

But the Association of Southeast Asian Nations failed to agree on a code of conduct in July. Justin Logan of Washington's Cato Institute said this week's APEC summit may do no better.

"I think bringing in different countries will create a different dynamic.  Although, in all likelihood, many of the countries that were in involved in the first go-around will be very, very reticent to get back involved again seeing the sour outcome that happened in ASEAN," said Logan.

Resolving the standoff is complicated by Chinese wariness of the Obama administration's greater military and economic involvement in Asia.  

"We have noticed the United States has said many times that it will not hold a position on the South China Sea issue," said Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hong Lei. "We hope they can keep their promises and do more things that are conducive to regional peace and stability, not the opposite."

Before APEC, Secretary Clinton tried to soothe tensions with China.

"We want to see them [China] play a positive role in navigation and maritime security issues," said Clinton. "We want to see them contribute to sustainable development for the people of the Pacific to protect the precious environment, including the oceans."

U.S. officials expect this APEC summit to endorse the need for a code of conduct over the South China Sea so that mechanisms for resolving rival claims might be in place before November's East Asia Summit in Cambodia.

Watch Shields and Brooks on the DNC, Platform Agenda on PBS. See more from PBS NewsHour.

It has rained a lot today as if it were a rainy season.

From morning till night.

The rain seems bad for a while but it is very good in the end.

You call this kind of weather "bad weather?"

As you please!

But without rain, it would be more like a desert here.

All the bad things have some things very good and important in them.

For one thing, they make us realize that certain things are out of our control.

They make us humble before the Ultimate Being.

Without bad things, without good things.

I love my life, though it seems full of bad things sometimes.

Without those bad things, life might be very monotonous or boring.

Human life would be more like that of some animals or robots with their simple heads.

I love this rain and all the bad things in my life.

They will turn into blessings even before I realize it.

Oh in this weather, maggeolli and pajeon sound like the best refreshments in the whole world.

난 영어를 참 오래 공부했다.

그러나 영어공부가 정말로 재밌다고 생각하며 공부한 적이 과연 몇 번이나 될까?

글쎄...

그러나 한 가지 확실한 것은,

비교적 쉽게 영어공부를 해왔다는 것이다.

아니 어쩌면 쉽게 공부하려고 노력했던 것 같다.

최선의 공부를 포기하는 대신 차선 혹은 차차선의 공부를 선택해서

비교적 꾸준하게 해왔던 것이 내 영어공부의 비결이었던 것 같다.

나는 효율을 따지지 않는다.

아니 오히려 효율을 멀리한다.

효율적으로 공부한다는 것은 마치 100m 혹은 1000m 달리기와 비슷할 것이다.

그래서는 결코 오래 할 수 없다.

난 어떻게 하면 가장 쉽게, 가장 재미있게 공부할 수 있을까를 늘 궁리했다.

즉, 영어공부를 마라톤으로 생각했다는 것이다.

지금도 마찬가지다.

난 얼마나 열심히 할것인가? 얼마나 효율적으로 할 것인가? 보다는

얼마나 오래 할 수 있을 것인가? 얼마나 쉽게 할 것인가?를

늘 생각하고 있다.

한 마디로, 영어공부는 단거리나 중거리 달리기가 아니라 장거리 달리기에 가깝다.

난 이렇게 생각하여서 비교적 성공한 셈이며

내 생각이 옳았다는 것을 어느 정도 입증한 셈이다.

오늘도 다들 좋은 하루 되세용.

비가 왔다 갔다 하지만. (= It's been raining on and off.)

The Legal Battle Between Apple and Samsung

This is the VOA Special English Technology Report.
 
Samsung Electronics has won the latest case in its continuing battle with the American owned computer company Apple over property rights. A court in Japan ruled in favor of the South Korean company last week in a case involving its Galaxy series of smartphones and tablets.
 
The three-judge panel in Tokyo said the products did not violate the property rights of an Apple patent for organizing music and video across devices. The court also ordered Apple to pay all costs relating to the court case.
 
The case is just one of many in the worldwide legal battle between Apple and Samsung.

Last month, a jury in the state of California found the South Korean company guilty of willfully violating property rights on several patents owned by Apple. The California jury awarded Apple more than one billion dollars in damages.
 
The patents include so-called utility patents for Apple’s “pinch to zoom” and “tap to zoom” technology. They also include design patents on the look and shape of the iPhone, and one for the home screen design.
 
Madhavi Sunder is a professor of law at the University of California, Davis. She has also written a new book called “From Goods to a Good Life: Intellectual Property and Global Justice.” She says issues involving design patents are more complex.
 
MADHAVI SUNDER: “These design patents are much more controversial. And a big question here is isn’t that what market competition is all about.”
 
Professor Sunder says patents are meant to increase competition and support design and development.
 
MADHAVI SUNDER: “For Apple to say its design -- which becomes a new industry standard, the standard of sleek, cool, modern gadgets -- is something that only one company can have an exclusive right over, this is a real problem. And it raises the real question of whether or not we should be protecting designs with patents in the first place.”
 
She says Apple built its computer company using the same methods that it is now opposing.
 
MADHAVI SUNDER: “Steve Jobs, ironically, built Apple’s reputation on the fact that Apple freely took all the best ideas that were out there and tweaked them and modified them to create a better product. He often quoted Picasso who said ‘good artists copy but great artists steal.’ The said thing now is that Apple is saying they can do it but no one else after them can. This goes to the heart of what innovation is about.”
 
Samsung said the California court’s verdict, in its words, "should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for American consumers.”

In a rare memo to its employees, the company said it would continue its fight until its arguments are accepted.
 
On the same day as the California ruling, a court in South Korea ruled in another case that both Apple and Samsung had violated each other’s patents.
